David Neilsen (Roy) told us on his first Canadian tour that Roy's bag actually belonged to David's own mother. David felt that it is likely a comfort item for Roy. I think it contains a book about trains.
I, too, sm sick to death of Cassie 🙄 I do, however, love Evelyn. She's a great character and the street's current Ena Sharples. I think the writers have gone off the rails in Evelyn's puppy storyline; I don't think her character would really be that careless.
Yes! Evelyn is one of my favourite characters - she has a gruff exterior like Maude Grimes (Reg Holdsworth's mother-in-law in the wheelchair) and a sharp tongue like Blanche Hunt, but the show seems to need a "battle-axe" to add some dynamics and variety amongst the characters. And she often has some of the best and funniest lines in the show! She does show a softer side - when her dog died, she has a soft spot for Tyrone and she did her best to help the family muddle through when Tyrone went off with Alina, etc. - so the writers do add things to make her likeable in my opinion.
Speaking of Roy...I thought of this last week when we were talking about MAID...does anyone remember when Hailey died...? I seem to recall that Roy may have helped her take some pills at the very end, or am I making that up? Not much was said about it at the time but I think it was implied. But I just wondered if they might bring that up with the Paul/ Billy thing. Also pretty sure Roy has some bat info, some maps and maybe Hailey's anorak in his bag, lol. Great show as always! Look forward to it.
I said the same thing last week when I saw the Paul/Billy scenes. Roy helped Hayley when she decided it was time to go. I can't remember if it was pills, or some sort of concoction that she drank, but he definitely was by her side and supported her through it. I hope Roy would reach out to Billy and Paul and share his experience with them.
Yes he definitely was there but I think it was soooo controversial they didn’t want to imply much at all. Now with so many countries having that option I’m hoping they will be more open about.
I think Joseph is going to have something serious, and Gemma will be vindicated. She is the only person that he trusted to believe in him.
The Sarah/Damon flip flop is going to turn out badly for Sarah, no doubt about it!
Cassie has to go! Evelyn is a fantastic addition to the Street, but Cassie can do one.
I can remember Asha being quite convincing when she was ga ga over Corey. The actress just needs a storyline where she can indulge her emotional side. Remember, they replaced the old Aadi with a much better actor,and they’ve recently replaced Ruby, and they had to replace Max…so if you can’t cut it, they don’t keep you.
I love that Hope and Joseph are related (siblings?) in real life. It makes me hopeful that Joseph’s health problem will not be fatal, I want to see the two of them grow up.
Random comments in no particular order: 1)BS, I'm with you - Don't like Evelyn, never liked Evelyn. 2)Dr. Badass' hair looks great. 3)Dev is a Tower of Jello. 4)Roy's bag is like the Queen's purse - purely decorative. 5)At least Aadi and Nina only had a kiss - if it had been Sarah and almost anyone else, they would have been in bed in no time flat. 6)I also seem to remember Aadi poking his finger in a pill bottle? 7)If Fizz is really only an hour away, it makes no sense. When I lived in Toronto, it used to take me an hour or more to get to work, and I worked in Toronto! Never did I think I should move downtown to be closer to work. 8) Where are you going Shannon? 9) Adam's accent has always been a bone of contention for me. He was born in Weatherfield and went to Scotland for school. I have a few friends who went to boarding school in England, and they didn't come home with English accents. End of randomness...
There was no prior scene showing a blister pack of drugs at Aadi's awful precinct flat. Agree about Asha. Is it the actor? The character has shown zero emotion towards anyone, any situation since her lovestruck Cory days. Aadi is her twin. She treated him like garbage, left him to die.
I think there was. I vaguely remember him taking a couple of pills before heading to the birthday celebration. Maybe it was something to calm himself down over the guilt of kissing Nina?
Your correct, we did see Aadi pop a paracetamol and complain of not feeling well prior to him going to Dev's for the party. That plus the beeping and single beer can were the clues that he wasn't just passed out from drinking to much. Some nice subtle writing in those scenes.
I saw that too. In fact, I thought he was maybe going to have a reaction to mixing it with alcohol when they had him lying there unconscious, not the CO poisoning. Also I agree the story lines are wearing a bit thin, although things might heat up with Adam, Damon and Harvey...?
I figured it was CO poisoning when the CO detector was beeping in the background, and figured it was a combination of whatever pills he took, a couple of beers, and the CO that cause the reaction. As for Adam, Damon and Harvey, whatever is going to happen, I hope it happens sooner rather than later. I find most of the storylines these days are either over very quickly, or long and drawn out.
Dang, thought of more: 10) Someone needs to get to the bottom of Joseph's tummy. Given the chaos that embues that house, I wouldn' be surprised if he has an ulcer. 11) Puppy story was stupid. Both Asha and Amy need to give their heads a shake - Diva's in training? 12) Cassie is a waste of space.

Oooh I like that train book idea. Perhaps some bat stuff as well?
And a first aid kit, of course.
This feels right

And yes, Adam needs to stick with the nice hair!
I’m not as anti-Evelyn as Stewart is, but yes, the puppies story line is too much!

I think there is something seriously wrong with Joseph and the Doctors should take his Mom’s concern seriously.
I'm with Shannon this week. It was bunch of stuff that I didn't really care about. It was a real letdown after last week's episodes.
I think Joseph is going to have something serious, and Gemma will be vindicated. She is the only person that he trusted to believe in him.

Bring Bernie Back!! She’s missing so much!!

Good thing you got animated 😉❤️
You were Adam.also , love the oh Canada/Weather theme, very clever!
